Off-Line Wicket Welding Pins

This equipment is designed as an independent off-line bench mounted unit. The unit is a low cost solution for eliminating the wicket wire when required. It works with two, three or four hot pins (depending on the request). The batch of bags is taken from the wicket conveyor with temporary wire or ties and it is inserted in the unit. For safety purposes this unit needs to be activated with two hands simultaneously (it stays in the down position until one of the hands is removed). The pins are pushed down by an air cylinder and penetrate in the wicket batch of bags. They create an equal number of welded points and eliminate the wicket wire. The unit has a manual temperature control (one for all pines) and timed preheating (the unit can be operated after the preset time runs out).
